Obama: All I did was wake up & go to a meeting. *shrugs*

I met him & Michelle in Dec.

Will never forget when he was in NYC to go to the Whitney Museum. Police barricaded us on 42nd & 2nd after we left the bar at around 12am. Then his motorcade came up 2nd Ave and I waved at him AND HE WAVED BACK AT ME!!! Windows were pretty dark but I could still see his silhouette. I was tipsy and my BF was in DD…

I love the way that constituents handled those congress persons who did not do town halls:

Dave Brat moved his townhall to a small town 60 miles from where the majority of his constituents live and held it in a venue that barely holds 200. There was a crowd of hundreds more outside. He literally didn’t think there were people who cared enough to drive an hour.

The video of Mitch McConnell getting yelled at was one of the top ten best things to happen in spite of Trump’s first month in office.

Cotton changed the venue five times in three days in order to confuse his constituents to try and make sure they wouldn’t show up (or that only his most diehard fans/supporters showed up). Thankfully the media was on it and people found out the right place to go.

The statement + the cute squeaky voice + the slight bedhead = I’m dying in the best way possible.

“Donald Trump makes Mexicans not important to people who are in Arkansas who like Mexicans, like me and my grandma and all my family,” Toby Smith, age 7, told Cotton to loud cheers from the packed auditorium. “And he’s deleting all the parks and PBS kids just to make a wall. He shouldn’t do that. He shouldn’t.”

The vast majority of Pewdiepie’s fans are children. And children are stupid.<< this is the best statement i read on the internet IN YEARS!! thank you !!!!!

My dear Shadowhearts0713,

That’s not just a problem with children. Being able to both criticize and support something at the same thing is a concept lost of the bulk of American’s, if you look at our political discourse.

Even a statement like, “I support our troops but not the war” is difficult for some people to understand.

I remember being a kid and labelling everything as “good thing”, “bad thing”, or at my most nuanced, “neutral thing”. If I liked something, I had to like EVERYTHING about it, and if I disliked something, I had to dislike every possible aspect of it as well. If I thought something was neutral, it was always neutral…

Dear Shadowhearts0713,

My daughters love him and, while they understood what he did was wrong, they didn’t understand why so many people were so mad....and I had to explain to them that this type of stuff, joke at other’s expense, isn’t funny. There were 1000 things he could have had them write on that sign.

I feel like it’s really good that this is blowing up and media are talking about this. All new media have to go through growing pains as it grows and matures, and youtubing and streaming is damned young and already way too big for how it gets produced. Mainstream media picked up on this? Good, it means youtubing is…

The vast majority of Pewdiepie’s fans are children. And children are stupid. They’re not emotionally mature enough to fully grasp nuance or context. They see Jacksepticeye criticizing his actions while also voicing support, and all they understand is “Jacksepticeye talked shit about Pewdiepie.” They can’t see how…

Well if you’re in the Philly area and you want to support places that closed for the day to support their workers, http://www.royaltavern.com and their sister restaurants, Khyber Pass, and Cantina Los Caballitos (and maybe a couple of their other places but not sure of all of the names) did.
